Video Layer timeline

I need to create an animation sequence in photoshop cs6 longer than 5 seconds. In previous versions the length of each video layer could be extended easily. Now it appears you need to make each video layer a maximum of 5 seconds. Document settings doesn't resolve this problem. I've found out how to extend the timeline but, crucially, not the length of individual video layers beyond 5 seconds. I believe CS5 and previous versions had this enabled. Can you help?

Sorry but I can't seem to drag the edge of the clip to anything beyond 5 seconds. As I said, I can make the document the desired length I want, but not only does CS6 omits document settings it also appears they now restrict the clip length. Please note, I am creating original animation on a blank video layer and not importing clips. I want to make an animation in a blank video layer longer than 5 seconds.

  • Timeline Video Layer goes blank after 4 seconds! PLEASE HELP

    I'm trying to create a time-lapse video using Photoshop CC.
    I follow the steps presented in this tutorial:
    Assembling a time lapse | Photoshop | lynda.com - YouTube
    I have done this before successfully, but now when I bring the Video Layer from File onto Timeline, Photoshop only plays 4 seconds and 2 frames of the footage (stills); the rest of the sequence is blank. I tried exporting and the same issue persists. I did not have this problem before. I'm using TIFF files as before.
    Please tell me how I can bypass this issue. I have tried importing the footage (stills) which are after the 4 second mark ON THEIR OWN (starting my import selection from a later point in the timee-lapse sequence), and the files open and play well. It is as if there is a 4 second and 2 frames limit set on the timeline.

    Do you have any version of Premiere Elements? It will do a great job for you for Time Lapse video. If you have Premiere Elements, I would encourage you to read
    the following
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: Time Lapse Video Basics

  • Camera Raw Filter is not working correctly in Photoshop CC when applied to video layer

    With Photoshop CC, when editing a video and adding a "Camera Raw Filter" to some video layer, the effect will be applied only to one frame and not to the whole video layer.
    Should it not add that filter to the whole layer (e.g. all frames in that clip)?

    Either it's a bug or a limitation. Haven't yet tried this, so I can't tell you whether it works as it should or is acting up... I would however assume that within what one can expect it works as designed - ACR doesn't have a built-in timeline, so there would be nothing for the PS routines to request retrieval of frames from withing the SO.

  • How can I Copy/paste the pixels within a frame in a video layer to another frame? (It duplicates the whole frame instead.)

    I'm making a handdrawn animation in the timeline using video layers, so each video layer contains the frames for the animation. The method works great..except for this -
    If lasso select a section of one frame and try to paste into another frame, it duplicates the the whole frame and pastes it with an arbitrary long frame duration for some reason (not the same duration as the frame its copied from)....not at all what I'm trying to do. Any work around? I've tried all the variations of 'paste special' to no avail.
    Thanks.

    Images and other object can either be floating or be inline. Yours are floating and will not move with the text. Inline object will move with the text but can't be outside the text layer. It doesn't help if you have created section in the document. Floating images doesn't care. Nor will it help if you create several documents that you want to merge later. Doesn't make any difference.
    My suggestion is that until your text is finished you have the images inline. Then as a last editing you can start make the images floating and move them a little.

  • Photoshop CC will not import any video files when I try Video Frame to Layers and New Video Layer from File

    Specifically I'm trying to import a .MOV I made in Quicktime. The file opens up everywhere else so it's not an issue with the file being corrupted. The error message I get from CC is
    "Could not complete command _____________ because the video file could not be opened."
    As far as I know I didn't save the .MOV with any permissions, but then again I have very limitted understanding of Quicktime. Originally the file was a .GIF that I converted to an .MOV because I wanted to edit the GIF using the video timeline instead of the animation timeline.
    Thanks for the help.
    Also, as an aside since I know a lot of Adobe employees are on here, the animation timeline is pretty crummy, there should be a way that you can open a .GIF into the video timeline as a video layer.

    Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
    Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
    By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
    Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

  • PS CC Video Layer Smart Object error

    I think I have found a bug, I'd like to see if it's reproducible for others.  I don't know what the actual error is, but the error message says 'Photoshop could not complete the request because of a program error' (which I'm guessing is just a general error message that could be any number of things).  To cause the bug, create a new blank video layer, and draw something on a few frames.  Convert the layer to a smart object, and make a copy of the object on the timeline.  Add transform key frames to each layer.  Save the file.  At this point, the file should still be able to play what is on the timeline (for me it does).  Close the file, and attempt to reopen.  PS should be unable to open the file.
    Additional Info:
    Whether the Smart object is composed of a single layer, or multiple layers, the error occurs.
    I've only tested it so far with scale/rotation transformations, may happen with opacity and position
    Altering the opacity and position of the second smart object without setting key-frames doesn't cause the error (just altering the opacity from the layers panel for example, or moving the video layer with move tool).
    Timeline frame rate doesn't seem to affect it one way or another.
    A few times when I didn't cause the issue intentionally for testing, I was still able to open the file, but attempting to start playback would then cause the error, which would crash Photoshop altogether.  In those cases, I was able to find that one of the smart object layers in particular would crash photoshop when visibility was enabled/disabled, so I was able to drag all the other layers into a new file, only loosing one layer.
    EDIT:  Just to add, my question was: Can other people reproduce this bug? 

    I can also reproduce this bug.
    It is also reproducible by creating a regular document.
    Add a few layers with content.
    Convert a few of those layers into a smart object.
    Animate the contents of the smart object.
    Everything works as expected. Timeline plays. Looks good.
    Save: Get PS error "Photoshop could not update smart object because of a program error"
    Save the animated file as it's own PSD just in case.
    Close.
    Re-open: Nothing works. Cannot scrub timeline, cannot save for web, cannot play timeline, cannot move objects.
    Everything results in the error: "Photoshop could not complete the request because of a program error"
    I have inadvertently lost a few hours of work a couple of times now due to this bug. It sucks because the work is there right in front of me but none of it is accessible to me.

  • PP to AE Dynamic link doesn't create video layer in AE

    PP to AE Dynamic link doesn't create video layer in AE. CC2014 updated.
    I'm DynLink sending a MotionJpeg clip from PP to AE. On my MacPro, Right clicking clip in PPro> replace with AE Comp. AE opens showing the comp but no video layer in the comp, (the comp is completely blank), and in PPro shows a comp in the Project Panel and a blank video chip in the timeline. This used to be a simple proceedure, is there a setting to enable in Project Settings I don't know about. New to CC, used to do this all the time in CS6.

    It looks like you've got collapse transformations turned on and that the Footage layer is a composition. I'd guess that the Maria Isabel.avi in the Maria Isabel.avi composition is 2D. With Collapse transformations turned on what you are seeing is normal behavior.
    What you want to do is to simply right click on the Maria avi in the Premiere timeline and select Replace with After Effects Composition. Once inside AE don't pre-compose the avi layer, just make it 3D.
    The other option would be to open up the Maria Isabel.avi composition and do your 3D transformations there.
    Yet another option wold be to turn off Collapse transformations.
    I'm not sure why the Maria Isabel.avi footage was Pre-comped. I can't see anytning in the screenshot that gives me a reason.

  • Locked a Black Video Layer and Premiere Pro CS5 Hangs Up

    Ran into a problem whereby I have on Video Layer 1 a layer of Black Video about 30 minutes long.
    I have 2-4 additional video layers above and about 9 audio layers.
    When I locked Layer 1 which has nothing more than a premiere pro generated Black Video layer, Premiere Pro CS5 completely froze up, became unresponsiveand  not even able to move the CTI, particularly when I tried to zoom in on the layer.  However when I locked any of the other video layers, not a problem.  Hardly ever lock layers so didn't notice it before.
    Filed a bug report but was curious if anyone ran into this problem.

  • Adobe Media Encoder cuts off video layer when the Ultra Key effect is applied

    I am working on a Mac (10.8.5) using the latest verison of Premiere Pro CC. I am using Ultra Key to remove the chroma key background from the "talent layer" and adding a "new background layer" behind the talent video layer. When I export directly from Premiere, the sequence exports as expected. However, I have many sequences, and wish to speed up the  process using Adobe Media Encoder. When I export the same sequence using Adobe Media Encoder, the top half of the "talent layer" is completly cut off:
    The issue has something to do with the Ultra key effect because when I remove the effect from the "talent layer" it exports in tact (with a chroma key background of course). Adobe Media Encoder CC is up to date as well; are there any known bugs with Media Encoder CC and the Ultra Key effect in Premiere Pro?
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop CC 2014 3D positioning in video animation timeline

    I'm a mac user and experimenting with the 3D and video timeline features. All I am trying to do is make a small custom shaped logo spin in place although it starts to spin around an axis that is off camera. My instructor at school did the exact same process that I've been doing on her computer, and it worked flawlessly which leads me to believe there is a snap, pin, or setting that my computer has turned on/off. I have found the 'Edit Pins' option in the View tab but I have not been able to select it as it is grayed out. Is that where the answer to my problem is? If not then where? The object that i am trying to rotate in this situation will move from the origin point whenever i try to apply a transformation of any kind, such as rotating, scaling, and moving.
    There is a similar problem that i have found on this forum, Photoshop CC 2014: 3D Scene Position Missing - Video Animation Timeline is the title of it although it has not been answered. This question was posted about the same time of my problems started as well. After a good amount of hours I haven't found anything close to an answer.

    I don't do 3D animations, but Seb Zaremba said it worked in the former Photoshop CC. You can have both version installed on your computer. Go to the Creative Cloud app and Apps>Filter & version>previous versions. There you will find the installer for CC (2013). Give it a try.

  • Photoshop CC 2014: 3D Scene Position Missing - Video Animation Timeline

    The 3D Scene Position line in the video animation timeline - missing in 2014.2.1 (CC 2014 up-to-date) ... I have tried all the posted work arounds; using 3D Meshes but the movement from center problem is still present... the answer provided in other posts about this being moved to the Scene group is entirely unhelpful. The 3D Camera post saying it was just renamed is not correct this does not rotate the object. What is the answer or the problem, is there a solution within Photoshop CC?

    You updated Quicktime or your Windows Media Architecture, used a different CoDec in your video, use an incompatible Codec to begin with. Furthermore, you could have upgraded your graphics card drivers, messing around with hardware accelerated playback. Really not clear. you need to provide more info about the matter, even more so, as you use non-standard video player software in your demonstration video and it's unclear, if any other tool based on Windows Media Architecture or QT would play the videos without problems. and please, don't use excessive formatting in your posts, it is bad conduct and very impolite to "scream".

  • Is there a way to view all frame thumbnails in a video layer?

    I'm aware of the "frame animation" option, but video layers are much more convenient. Ever since this addition Photoshop is nearly on par with TVPaint for drawn animation, but my only problem is that even when fully zoomed in I can't see my video layer frame by frame. Does anyone know if there is an option, script, or plugin to make this a reality? It's hard to know where to hold, insert, or remove a frame without being able to see the one coming up next, and even if I scrub through to see I constantly find myself second guessing that I'm in the right spot.

    You can flatter video into frames but then I do not think they will be playable. Digital Video is not like a frame animation or even like a movie reel of film.  There are actually   whole frames only every so often.  To be able stream video you need to keep the data rate low so video need to be highly compressed. So whole frame are the exception in between frames are partial frames the part that had motion the parts that changed.  To give you some idea if the size difference.  Animated Gif only support 256 colors.  I took a couple seconds from a cilp my wife shot with our canon 1D Mk IV.  1920x1080 with sound  I timed it down to two seconds.  and rendered it  as a h264 mp4 using Photoshop Video Preset High Quality.  The mp4 produced was around 6MB is size had beautiful Color and sound.  I then flattened the video into frame layers and was able to make a Frame animation. I save the frame animation all 58 frames 1920x1080 as an animated Gif the file was around 24MB the color awful and there was no audio.

  • Is it possible to overlay a PNG over video layer?

    This process may be strange but there's a reason for this madness. We are taking h.264 .mp4 videos into PowerPoint then using the Acrobat 9 extended pro add-on and converting this file to a .pdf. There's possibly a need to put a watermark over the video. However when we insert a transparent PNG over the video in PowerPoint then convert it to .PDF the video punches through the PNG. It seems like the video layer wants to be the frontmost even if listed as part of the background in Acrobat. We can go back to the video and do it there but we would have to process the video again so we're trying to avoid that. Any ideas?

  • Mac computers - FF 29.0 and 30.0 does not display the video layer in the Revolution Slider section of WordPress site. Why?

    Mac computers - FF 29.0 and 30.0 does not display the video layer in the Revolution Slider section of WordPress site. Why?
    We prepared simple Word Press web site. We used a Revolution slider plugin with HTML5 video layer. It works properly on Chrome, Safari, older Mozilla FF.
    But we had a problem on PC computers with FF 29.0 30.0 – after reinstall of browser everthing seems to be OK. The slider works. Unfortunately even the reinstallation on Mac computers does not help. There is no visible video on Mac FF 30.0.
    We are looking for some information what we can do to solve this problem. Could you help?
